A 22-year-old Los Angeles writer and comedian named Elijah Daniel just published his first book. It's a short piece of erotic fiction with one very famous lead character: Donald Trump.
The book, "Trump Temptation: The Billionaire and The Bellboy," chronicles a kinky tryst between Trump and a bellboy named Elijah — yes, Daniel based the other character on himself. It's currently available as a digital download on Amazon for just $1.99.
Daniel says he decided to write the explicit tale after a friend published this parody piece — note: this website is not the real Huffington Post — detailing a made-up rumor, based on several of his tweets and Instagram posts, that Daniel had a sexual affair with the GOP presidential candidate.
Inspired, Daniel tweeted that he was going to write a story based on the affair. He has over 90,000 followers on the social platform and says many of them responded excitedly about the possibility of a book.

"I told [my followers] I was going to get drunk and write the entire thing in one night and publish it," Daniel told Tech Insider. "My followers thought that was hilarious ... so I live-tweeted me writing a erotic fiction Trump novel."
Daniel used a Twitter poll to let his followers decide the role Elijah's character would play in the story. Options included "helicopter pilot" and "drunk in a casino." Ultimately, Daniel went with a bell boy.
"I wrote it kind of as a satire of 'Fifty Shades of Grey,'" Daniel told Tech Insider. "It's pretty f------ gross. There is a chapter in it called 'Blood Sausage.'"
With lines like, "My loins trembled as the scent of toupee adhesive and spray tan swept through my nasal cavity," we can definitely see the similarity.
Once he finished writing, Daniel submitted the 20-page story to Amazon for publication. "It was an easy process. Anyone can write garbage and just upload it," Daniel said. "Amazon approved it, though, so some poor intern definitely had to read it."
